Urban Affairs & Community ServicesAbout the Department
Founded in 1966, the Center for Urban Affairs and Community Services (CUACS) extends the educational research capabilities of North Carolina State University to governmental and community agencies. The Center operates under a mandate to provide research and technical assistance to state and local government as well as to the faculty and staff of NC State University. Specifically, CUACS applies research and development skills to major policy and technological issues and provides product and quality control support to the measurement of performance and the evaluation of programs and outcomes in various state programs.

NC State University works with North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) in applying research and development skills to major educational and technological issues and by providing product and quality control support to the measurement of educational performance in the state’s 115 local school systems and providing technical support to school systems as applicable. TOPS provides research, technical and training assistance in carrying out assessment on a statewide basis, provides support for technological improvements for data-driven decision-making , and creates subject matter tests each year. The number of different tests for which TOPS is responsible is 189 at this time. In addition, there are thousands of individual items to be developed for formative assessment for language, math, science, and social studies.
